Beginning: 6:00 p.m.
Closing ceremony and guided tour of the exhibition Signal III: Masterpieces from the Robert Runták Collection (1900 - 1990) with curator David Voda.
Over the past few years, Robert Runták's collection has earned its place in the contemporary gallery scene in the Czech Republic. Regular loans and presentations of its acquisitions now rank it among our most important contemporary private collections of European and Czech-Slovak art after 1990. Now there is an opportunity to present it in its historical breadth, which begins with Czech Art Nouveau and Post-Impressionism and gradually fills up at a remarkable pace, especially with regard to art from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The aim of this exhibition is simple. To exhibit the best from 1900 to 1990, while not looking primarily at this collection, but rather through its prism at the history of Czech modern art. Perhaps we will also glimpse something of the spiritual and social transformation of (not only) Czech society? Here, then, are nine modern and postmodern signals. And they are "signals, crossing like blades of grass" (Ivan Blatný).
